Mt. Daimonji Night view panorama hiking in Kyoto

Mt. Daimonji(465m) is famous for the giant Chinese character “大” that is depicted by fire lit to illuminate the mountain every year on August 16th during one of Kyoto`s most spectacular festivals `The Daimonji Gozan Okuribi` (Obon Fire Festival). The panoramic views of Kyoto city, its surroundings and even skyscrapers of Osaka and Awaji island on a fine day make it a very popular hiking spot in Kyoto.
